"Any descendant of a famous martial artist, of course has the advantageous conditions for inheritance, but he does not have the right to inherit his ancestor's superior Gongfu. When people flock to me to learn, I wish I could go into their brain and body to transmit my knowledge to them, but this obviously is not possible. To teach is to act like a guide. The path must be opened by the learner himself. It is entirely dependent upon the learner himself as to how far, how fast, and whether he will ever reach his destination. In this whole process, the job of the teacher is to make sure that the direction of the path the student takes is a correct one."
